What is Telecom Expense Management ?

You may have also heard people refer to it as TEM or Technology Expense Management

Technology Expense Management can provide time and cost savings, whilehelping you manage a telecom inventory.

Gartner defines Telecom Expense Management (TEM)in its IT glossary as “the practice that encompasses the business processes conducted by IT and finance departments to acquire the provision (and support) of corporate telecommunications assets. TEM is the build-out of services, or the acquisition of third-party services, to manage the supply chain for telecommunications.”

Telecom Expense Management began due to a need to control monthly costs associated with the use of fixed phone lines. Now, TEM has evolved into a management system which helps not only with managing telecom services but also wireless services. A few vendors, such as Cimpl, will manage even more for you, such as IT, cloud management, Machine to Machine (M2M), and many more.
